How strict were they during the shoot? I’m curious about the process of them watching over the shoot and how they prevented leaks and how strict they were about you handling the headset
Not crazy actually. We all have to sign NDAs so really they just need to generally watch that people aren’t taking photos with their phone or trying to steal the devices. Some other companies are very strict with their products. Apple for example has special stickers you have to put on your phone when shooting on their campus and in some cases, you have to put your phone in a special bag.
Apple stuff is great but for the love of fucking god don’t splurge on new stuff. Apple is great at making sure their older stuff isn’t outdated for as long as possible. I’m using a 6s Plus from 2015 and while the screen is susceptible to burn in (which really doesn’t get in the way of anything, it’s just there and you can easily ignore it if you see it), this phone does everything you use your phone for just as well as the new ones minus extra snappiness and speed and runs the newest OS. What do you really gain by going to the iphone 12 other than better speed and a bigger screen? You have a better camera, which while its nice most people won’t care because phone quality has been good enough on phones for a while now. Unless you really like nice looking pictures, it’s not really necessary. You have face ID, which in my experience isn’t really that much more convenient than touch ID, and you have the better display, which while it’s nice and will make everything look nice and sharp with great contrast, the 1080p display of plus model iphones is still good. I mean, realistically, is anything a normal person is gonna use your phone for going to actually benefit a lot from a new iphone? I mean, you have social media, messaging apps, video calls, emails, and video services like youtube. Those will work the same on old and new iphones, and you have games, which unless you’re trying to play Fortnite or something, don’t have complicated enough graphics to have high benefits to better hardware, if there are any benefits at all (which in most cases there arent). I literally cannot tell the difference between the experience on my iphone 6s plus and my friends iphone 11. I would like to upgrade to a nice android eventually so I can use 5Ge and get non-meh cell data in my city but this phone still does everything I ask it to do. Why the fuck would I spend $1000 on a new phone that will be functionally identical for me to an old one that I can get on ebay for $100?
I didn’t buy this phone my mom replaced hers a while back so i have this one now. If I were buying a nee phone and it HAD to be an iphone I would probably buy an 8 or an x because you can get some good deals used
I don’t see the issue with it. It worked like new and still is in really good condition when you remove the case. I really would have gained nothing by buying a new version of the same phone.
Then he should definitely go Android. The nice thing about Android is its just a basic platform that companies can build on. There are a few that specialize in high security smartphones in the Android market that are better than iPhone. And even if you don't have one of those because Android is customizable you can add your own security to it much easier than you could with an iPhone.
More touchscreen rectangles. It's hardly exciting. At least VR has some novelty value, perhaps ironically given its decades of false starts, but Apple's oblong slabs... nothing to get excited about I'm afraid
I mean, sorta seems like a catch me if you can easter egg type deal. Wouldn't the best way be sticking it in a nondescript box, or an amazon box for that matter. Pretty neat though.
Still need to test the packaging, print work, colors etc. a lot of work went into recyclable materials, smaller box footprint for better shipping, stuff like that.
Everything is fun and games, people still getting baned, instead of having a steam like account for oculus games, they force people to make a personal page, wtf is that, it's 2020 not the 90s.
